As the days shorten and the weather cools I do find myself giving more and more thought to what I feel like drawing/painting/creating. There are a whole host of things clamoring to be let out just under the skin of my thoughts. Yesterday I drew a few very rough sketches of things I would like to do, and then started playing with shapes that felt perfect. A few very well defined shapes came out with nearly no correction needed- pear, a split avocado, eggplant, pumpkin. One of my favorite things is a split canteloupe I painted years ago. Fruits, some veggies, then. Shapes that flow onto the sketchpad, objects with wonderful colors- the deep black-purple of eggplant, the greens of avocado and pear, oranges of canteloupe and pumpkin.
Nice places to start…
Unfortunately my camera needs batteries to munch. But I think I have pictures of other shapes I have liked.
